About this program

The IBM Impact Accelerator is a two-year, no-cost social innovation program that partners with nonprofit, academic, and government organizations globally to co-develop AI and technology solutions addressing environmental and economic stress. IBM provides access to platforms such as IBM watsonx, IBM Cloud, and Red Hat technologies, along with technical mentorship and expert collaboration. Each annual cohort focuses on a specific theme (e.g., sustainable agriculture, clean energy, water management, resilient cities, supply chains), and selections are made through a public RFP process.
